Title: Electric powered 1965 George Aldrich AG-1 DUSTER
Post by: RickS on June 11, 2009, 11:47:58 PM

Hello gentlemen,

Attached are some pictures of my newly completed 1965 model of George Aldrichs AG-1 DUSTER.  I liked the narrow nose and the ability to put a full length access hatch on the "top" for access to all major components. I also liked the idea of a flow thru for the cooling air which can easily exit out of the open cockpit.  The same open cockpit allows a perfect location for the placement of the Will Hubin timer and as shown there is easy  adjustment access.  Some other specs:  wing area 620 sq....weight less battery 38.5 oz... AXI 2826/12 for power with a 12/6 APCe prop powered by a 4 cell 3700 pack..  Covering  is ultracote.

Rick,
The Duster looks great, I'm glad you used your trademark color scheme.
Now all we need to do is get together and start practicing.

     Well done, Arch

Rick,
Very cool and clever.  How about some set up numbers?

I dunno Dave, I think Rick would insiste it be "Sawicki & ALdridge"!   n~  LL~  LL~

All seriousness aside, Rick, you really did a great job on the Duster.  I remember seeing GMA fly his once, but have never seen anyone elses - looking forward to a flying session or three this summer!.

Also I'd say you get the asward for "Best Installation of a Will Hubin Timer".  That is ingenious, simple and practical as all get out.

Bravo!   8)  y1  #^  H^^  CLP** BW@ HH%% 010!

Gentlemen.

Thank you very much for  all of your kind comments and feedback.   

A few  were "very unusual". 

I will try very hard to be worthy of them.

thanks again,
